Bear in mind that the system runs under pressure. That combined with 90C temp may be enough to persuade your repair to give way. It may not, but it may. Carry a couple of gallons of water with you until you get a new tank. If it does give way, run it with the cap on loose, stopping to top up every mile or so. -- Grunff
